11th Annual Q-Fest

Time:12:00 pm

Description:

Paris Is Burning is a 1990 documentary filmed in the mid-to-late 1980s. It chronicles the ball culture of poor, African American, Latino, gay and transgender communities in New York City. Many members of the ball culture community consider Paris Is Burning to be an invaluable documentary of the end of the "Golden Age" of New York City drag balls, as all as a thoughtful exploration of race, class, gender in America. Facilitated by the Eric Rofes Center for Multicultural Queer issues.

Q-Fest is a 3-day, student organized event of feature films that examines queer issues and the intersection of race, gender and sexual orientation. All films are followed by a facilitated discussion.
